Hmmm having re-read this it gives me pause... other than needing an antenna adapter and a VW wiring harness there's nothing to swapping out the head unit. There's absolutely no trim that needs to be removed or anything. Although we are having a discussion as to the correct wiring of the speaker wires.

Post your results, I think I read that you were having the install done yesterday.
